Creating And Managing Parameters

First parameters are created with their values, and then Data Set is formed in Test Case. Parameters are created in Configuration, which are populated in the Steps tab in the Test Case section of Test Management.

Note: Before starting with creating and managing of parameters, refer introduction page to understand about https://qmetrysupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/QTM4JS/pages/1210846374 .

Creating a Parameter

User with 'Configuration modify' access to the project can create and add parameters to test case.

Example:  QA manager needs 'Display' parameter with 4 parameter values.

Below are the steps for parameter creation:

1. Go to QMetry menu > Configuration > Select your Project. 

1. Under Project Configuration select Parameter.

1. Fill details mentioned below:

Parameter Name: Enter Name of the Parameter. It should be unique across projects.

Description: Enter text that explains purpose of the parameter being created. Then click on Add.

Parameter Value: Enter values for the parameter. 

A row gets added to the parameter. You can keep adding values as you required.

Once Parameters are added with their values, then the parameters can be used in Test case. Refer this link to understand how to add data set.

Below are the steps to edit a parameter:

1. Click on the parameter name to edit, and a text box appears to enter the new parameter name as shown in the below screenshot.

2. Enter the updated name and click on the tick mark symbol. You can even edit the description field on similar lines.

Deleting a Parameter

User with 'Configuration modify' access to the project can delete a custom parameter that is not in use. 

Below are the steps to delete Parameter:

1. Go to QMetry menu > Configuration > Select your Project 

1. Under Project Configuration select Parameter. The Parameter list is displayed on the screen.

1. Click on the Delete icon of the Parameter that you want to delete. Also, the parameter value can be deleted on similar lines.

Note: As highlighted in below screenshot, you will get an error in case parameter is used on any of the test cases.

Searching a Parameter

To avoid the duplication of the parameter, QA manager can use the search option for the parameter to search for the specific parameter if it exists. 

Below are the steps for searching the parameter.

1. Navigate to QMetry > Configuration menu > Select Project.

2. Click on the parameter and type the keyword in the text box as shown below.
